food'n'phones

Had the Bob Special with ham this morning at the GrubShack. Got sucked into the vortex and lingered just a little too long there. Long enough in fact to see the mailman and Manny from UPS. He dropped off the new(old surplus) telephones I ordered from http://www.sciplus.com/ . I got 4...one for my old house, one for the new house, one for the office, and one for the future guest house. Tested them and they all work fine. Making a call on one of these phones seems so much more humane. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTc3PsW5ghQ 53,69,31,0,W

The old school Bell phones can survive a Nuclear War or being thrown across the room. I miss the old phone etiquette. If the phone keeps ringing, then there's nobody home (no answering machine or voicemail garbage)

John,Bet Benita is glad your wanting to give up meat. You gotta try making wheat meat - great stuff and you can fry it in a little olive oil and onions, smother it with barbeque sauce and it satisfies your Texas meat craving. Or tempeh with barbeque sauce, made into a sandwich - wow!
